WASHINGTON — The F.B.I. director, James B. Comey, asked the Justice Department this weekend to publicly reject President Trump’s assertion that President Barack Obama ordered the tapping of Mr. Trump’s phones, senior American officials said on Sunday. Mr. Comey has argued that the highly charged claim is false and must be corrected, they said, but the department has not released any such statement.
Mr. Comey made the request on Saturday after Mr. Trump leveled his allegation on Twitter. Mr. Comey has been working to get the Justice Department to knock down Mr. Trump’s claim because there is no evidence to support it and it insinuates that the F.B.I. broke the law, the officials said.
A spokesman for the F.B.I. declined to comment. Sarah Isgur Flores, the spokeswoman for the Justice Department, also declined to comment.

The way Comey is framing this issue he may be honor bound to resign.
touche.
It is Internet only. Streamed. Already an old model but what the hell does that bald fat stupid Fran Dresher voiced f know. Let him open his pie hole and he will tell you I know it all. He is the kid you wanted to beat the F out off in middle school. Still is. Never grew up. A complete and utter jackass.
Thanks for the answer.
No, never lived in Chicago, I was out of the country in the Mid 80s.
By so doing, the Left and their vile mouthpieces all come out with their denials and equivocations. The longer you provide no proof, the surer they become that you have none. They get more bold, and start really mouthing off.
Then you lower the boom. And take 'em all off at the sac. Chop their jewels right off, in public. They have nowhere to run, or to hide.
That's how Trump nails 'em.

I can straighten out one thing in this mess for you. The rest of it is foggy.
Trump Tower has office spaces and tenants. There are one or two Russian banks who are tenants - they lease office space the same as any other business. That was reliably reported and the banks were named in something that I read. It has also been reported that it was determined during the investigation that there were no links to Trump with the bank(s).
I read yesterday (can’t remember source) that something to do with a Russian bank in Trump tower was part of the probable cause that got some kind of surveillance rolling, but (my speculation) it is a big leap to investigate Trump simply because of something a tenant did or is alleged to have done.
You are one person. Just one. Only one. There are 320 million people in this country and it may surprise you that not everyone does the same things you do. Not everyone likes the same things you do. Not everyone likes the same foods you do and not everyone likes the same TV programs and movies as you do. Understand?
The networks and the papers are not the only ones in town, but they are still the most influential because of their reach.
Trump still lost the popular vote. More people voted for Hillary, or another way to put it is that more people vote against Trump than Hillary.
I have watched network news perhaps a dozen times since 1992, but I am aware their influence is still the greatest.
It’s a shame your hate clouds your thinking to the point that you cannot admit that he actually did something useful today.
If you have all your facts verified and in hand, you present the facts at the same time you present the accusation.
No one has all the facts in hand in this imbroglio.

LOL.... When I was 14 I was reading 1200 words a minute. Reading lab teacher thought I was cheating. She control tested me with comprehension and all the rest. She became my friend and in awe. Probably down to 900 wpm but I read a lot of bull crap that you have to digest. My butt hole isnt big enough to deal with all the crap we are fed in print. Now I prefer the video media. At least I can play fetch with my one of my cats (did not have to train her) as I listen to the complete and utter crap they spew. Make a paper ball. See if it is in your cat to be a fetcher. They don’t care about the look of disgust in your face when Pelosi comes on.
And you believed them. Right. Because whatever someone who worked for Barack Hussein 0bama said, you can take straight to the bank.
I'm not doing your homework for you; there's a thing called the Internet. Learn how to use it.
I will 100% agree he wasnt his usual sanctimonious ass self today if you will admit he was trembling like a man in fear during the piece. He got TRUMPED.
his script. his script.
As President, Trump has authority to declassify anything, plus the clearance to see anything. The FISA warrants should be on his desk in less than one day.
Truthfully, I will have to watch it again...I half-watched but mostly listened to it twice...really was not watching and certainly not watching for shaking...and I am not sure what relevance shaking has on the actual content of his presentation...
However, you have piqued my interest, so I likely will watch it closely again tomorrow and try to note shaking.
Congress needs to investigate this and put people under oath. This is getting out of control, and the country can’t be governed this way, via innuendos, and accusations, and counter accusations, and stories from unnamed sources.
You never reveal capabilities, tactics, strategem or intel at the onset of a conflict, and this is war.
Get a grip, boot.
It was trembling. Just go half way into the video turn down the sound and Levin is in a state of terror. Look at how the paper is moving like a geisha fanning herself. He got F’n busted as a criminal co conspirator and the law got layd out. The great one has been neutered, not that his balls ever dropped given his Fran Dresher voice. Jackass had it coming.
